Winter feeding of cuttings

Not yet-just keep them ticking over-not actively growing-they will be ok

I tend to pot on/repot any cuttings I've done last season/yr in February. That way they have new compost for a few weeks before they need to go out in May. They will start to grow as the light levels increase. IMO that makes for sturdier plants. J.

I pot as jo4eyes describes and for same reasons but start end January. Already potted on some as growth has been vigorous and they were taken last September. However, wait a few weeks yet before you pot on newly establishing cuttings and don't feed ...you are likely to lose them if you do.

Hi,  Yes, end of January is a good time.  I repotted some hydrangea cuttings the other day, among other things.  I am so glad I did them because when I tipped them out of the old pots there were lots of vine weevils among the roots.  If I had waited until later they might have done more damage.  There were quite a few roots still there so I am hoping they will be ok.  I sprinkled some of the Root Grow round the roots to help them on their way again.  It would probably be a good idea to repot any that have been outside since the summer.  June

I start to pot up my cuttings at the beginning of February,too

If you check the roots in the pot, see if they are comming out of the bottom or root bound, if you do need to repot then they will get any nutrients from new compost you put in. I wouldnt tend to feed any plants this time of year, its a natural cold spell by now they will have stored food and alot of plants have become dormant around now. (unless they are in a heated greenhouse)

The geraniums I brought indoors continued to flower till just after Christmas.

When repoting in Jan/Feb can they be split or is it better to wait till spring and the warmer weather.

Definitely geraniums.

A question- cos I is confused

Why did you bring the geraniums indoors?

Geoff. It's a long story and not very scientific ....Never grown them before and bought a couple late on in the season from the 'nearly dead section' at a GC to fill out some large pots along with some dahlias, didn't expect the geraniums to survive, it was the dahlias I wanted for their tubers to grow this year(25p each).

When it came time for the dahlias to be lifted, the geraniums were still in full flower and I had other winter stuff to put in the pots, seemed a shame to compost them and thought the frost would kill the geraniums, so lifted them and brought them indoors. They continued to flower till just after Christmas and still look like healthy plants      

Hmm, these sound like "bedding geraniums" to me - in other words 'pelargoniums' rather than 'hardy geraniums'.  

Confusion has reigned ever since 'they' re-organised the naming of them - I understand why they did it - but so many people 'of a certain age' have known them as geraniums all their life .... 

Zooomer!!-I have a headache now
